Because if can, this would be mine.
I’ve been looking for a clean model 649/49 since I foolishly sold a 649 I had years ago but they’ve been hens teeth locally. This one was hanging up in the “gun rack in the back” of my favorite LGS, where they put stuff when their cases out front are overflowing. I spied it when I was chatting with an associate and the door was open.
Nickel, model 49 no dash, mid 80s vintage, tight as a drum, excellent shape. $450 plus tax? Where’s the 4473…
Got it home, stripped her down, gave her and good clean/oil, 2 passes with mothers mag and 1 pass with Ren Wax. Swapped the original wood with a pair of Bigmtnmans’ handmade Antelope stocks and a polished t-grip. Totes well in an out of business International Handgun Leather horsehide pocket holster. A perfect backup to my main BBQ piece, a nickel 13-3 3” with some more carved headgear.
Do you have a BBQ J frame? I’d love to see it!
